March 19 and 26, 1997:
Along with hundreds of other activists, Avengers join in
the powerful chorus of voices demanding justice for
Aaron Williams, an African-American man who was
killed by cops. One of the cops, Marc Andaya, has been
guilty of numerous racist attacks during his time on the
force -- even the Chief of Police recommended a harsher
punishment than the Police Commission gave him!
What's up? Fire Andaya! Hold the police accountable for
their actions!

Atlanta:

On 21 February 1997 a bomb went off at the Otherside, a primarily
gay and lesbian bar in Atlanta, Ga. On 23
February 1997 The Atlanta Chapter of the Lesbian Avengers
organized a rally near the bomb site.

Washington D.C.:

August 14th, 1996: Protested the Chritsian Coalition's national agenda.
The action began with
fire eating in Dupont Circle Park and continued to
join the Pride, Faith and Anger march along Conneticut
Avenue to join the NOW demonstration at the
Washington Hilton - where the
Christian Coalition was
holding a national convention.
As part of the march, The Lesbian Avengers featured a crucified
Lesbian being led along "The Stations of the Christian Coalition Cross."
The stations
included "Homophobia," "Patriarchy," "Censorship," and "Church
State."

Boston:

On December 2nd, 1995, Cambridge's Porter Square branch of Jenny
Craig was the unintended host to the First Annual Lesbian Avenger
Eat Out.
Dykes of all sizes fed themselves and each other outside Jenny
Craig while
handing out our flier "Women Should not Live on Bread Alone" (which
outlined how the diet industry perpetuated racism and sexism and
was therefore
operated by the devil's minions).

Is the
Lesbian Avengers right for me?

Does it bother you when people at work assume you have a boyfriend?

Does it bother you for every dollar a man makes a woman makes $.70?

Do you want to do something positive with your anger?

Do you need to get connected with other dykes?

Do you like to meet unconventional chicks?

Do you long to be a public lesbian?

Do you dream of walking topless down Market Street carrying a
Lesbian Avenger banner?

Do you want to learn to eat fire?

Do you want to make your ideas into actions?

Do you hope to perpetuate the matriarchy?

Do you enjoy creating guerilla art?

Would you relish the opportunity to be out & proud on National
news networks?

If you answered yes to 2 or more of these questions, RUN, don't
walk, to our meetings and join a small band of pissed off activists aka
the
Lesbian Avengers to constructively release your anger toward the
heterosexist, racist, classist, etc...society.
